      The Advice Thread

      Hello, everyone! While browsing the forums, I noticed that there are quite a few threads for advice on specific designs... so I decided, "Why not make a whole thread?" Basically, post pictures of your WIP designs and ask for advice on improvements! To get the proverbial ball rolling...

      Suggested Fill With Block for Build Helper

      Okay, I'm suggesting again. Wish me luck. Recently, I've been trying out the build helper more than usual, and I've run into two things that annoy me: The build helper lattice/mesh/frame lags A LOT. My framerate drops from 120 to a slideshow if I try to make a large ellipsoid or torus. If I'm...

      My Suggestion to Alter Pulses

      NOTE: All values are examples chosen to be reasonable, which are subject to change. Also, all effects are my ideas about what would be both interesting and useful - I don't know it they can or will be implemented if this idea goes anywhere. Okay, once again, "one of these threads." Bear with...

      The Brilliant Dawn Project

      -- The Brilliant Dawn Project -- I've wanted to build a vertical ship for a long time - why not a vertical battleship? (Battleship in my classification is about 600 meters on the longest axis.) Why not build an entire support fleet to go with it? And stations and a planet, too. This is the...

      Mean vs Median in Planet Settings

      Hello everyone! Tell me, when you are setting up a new singleplayer (or maybe even multiplayer) universe, have you ever wondered why the planet sizes never deviate very much from the mean size? Well, it's because it's the mean size and everything is more likely to be sized similarly. In fact, if...

      My Display Block Wishlist

      Just wanted to put this out there. Things that I think really limit display block potential. Toggleable Text Wrap: Sometimes, floating text is useful, but a lot of times, I just want the text to STAY ON THE BLOCK, without having to exit the display block, look at where the text is, then...

      Planet Distance from Star Should Influence Planet Type

      Pretty simple. Seeing an ice planet so close to the star that my ship's hull starts flaking off is a bit of a problem. (Don't you agree?) I believe something similar is already implemented with asteroids.

      IndexOutofBoundsException?

      This keeps on happening to me, and when I try to reload my singleplayer universe, all the blocks disappear. Which is a shame, because I had a really nice ship I was building. :( Specs, if they will help: (probably won't) 16 Gb RAM i7 6700HQ @ 2.6 gHz GTX 960M EDIT: Picture

      Read by Council Ideas on Stopping Beams with Blocks

      So, we all have probably built some strange mining ship that has a chamber for asteroids. Or perhaps, we've all built a repair station. But then, we have a problem. That is, of course, that beams travel through their own ship, and keep on going for a kilometer or so, which isn't exactly the most...

      Read by Council Fusing (not nuclearly) Fuel with Current Game

      So, yes, I know fuel has been suggested to death. Personally, I don't want fuel, but I think it isn't all bad either. Here's what I'm proposing: A new resource would be able to "supercharge" all of a ship's systems by ~10%, but be consumed while doing so. So, why? Right now, factories are...

      Implemented A Possible Way to Increase Planet FPS

      I don't know if this would work or not, or if it is already implemented, but I don't think it is. So here's the idea: Only load visible planet blocks. What I mean is: If this is the surface of the planet ☐☐☐☐ Then this ☐☐☐☐ and this ☐☐☐☐ and this shouldn't even exist until they are...

      Read by Council An Idea Regarding Shipbuilding Businesses on Servers

      Okay, so at some point in our Starmade "career," we've all probably made a little shipbuilding "business" that turned out to be boring and just an excuse for RP that doesn't really work. So here's my suggestion: Anyone who purchases a blueprint of a ship gives a portion of the money to the...

      A Few Ideas Related to the Universe

      NOTE: I'm just putting these out as ideas. I do not want to work Schema to death! Rogue Planets: Lifeless worlds far from any stars, possibly drifting in between galaxies. More minerals than your average dodecahedron. Pulsars: Stars that shoot out streams of ... stuff from their north and...

      Bephinius / Per Shipyards

      - Bephinius / Per Shipyards - That's an image of Bephinius; I don't have any of Per yet. So, I've been building ships for a while know and finally decided to release them to the forums! I made a double shipyard, Bephinius (Blue Main Sequence) and Per (Red Dwarf). Each one builds totally...
